I'm sure you'll be able to pass it on if you're getting rid of it.

Doesn't look like they went overboard on the cardboard box biglaugh

Mines due between 2-3.
Looking forward to it but still in two minds.

If you are think of selling there is a long term member on here who I suspect would like it.

You won’t be when you see it!

You gone blue or white?

Thanks if it was white i would’ve been tempted ti have it off of you if you didn’t like it to complete the set.

Would be interested to know your thoughts when you get it. Pictures do bit do it justice, closest i have come is with a video but don’t know how to put on here, TheJimi if you know how to do videos you have my permission to put on the one i sent you.

Absolutely loving the blue, wish I'd bought two. One to keep mint in box and one to wear regularly.

The white one is nice but I'll admit to being a little disappointed. It comes up in photographs as much brighter white than it is in reality. Its more of a cream white in person.

Had expected the packaging to be a bit better as well, my other G-Shocks came in metal tins so was surprised by the cardboard packaging.

I do get your point about the box but quite frankly I have that many tins i just throw them anyway. If it helps keep the price point reasonable I would happily dispense of the metal tin.

I think they moved away from tin to be environmentally friendly. Every one I’ve bought over the past 18months has been cardboard.

The cardboard was only a minor disappointment.

Lets focus on how much we all love the watch!!

I ended up in the dark garage and the lume on the hands was pretty impressive as well.

Immediate thoughts - it’s very comfy! The blue is a great shade and it looks like a comic book drawing.
I’m not sure how well the black accents will wear though - I think they’ll rub or scuff off quite easily.

Summer watch done!

I thought you might keep it when you see it.

Only issue i have is value. If there really is only 349 of each colour (in the UK) these might be worth a bit in the future.

It’s strange I’m thinking like this as I never have done before, for an insight I have multiple pairs of trainers where had I not of worn them they would be worth over £500 and mine have holes in I have worn them that much.

Not sure if it’s just a change in me, or the fact I paid a reseller that makes me more aware of the value.

It'll just be an oil based marker pen for the lines so quite easy to touch up.

If you are thinking of returning this I would love the chance to buy it. Currently have the Blue and thinking would both make a nice pair and also allow me to put blue strap onto white watch.

Sorry I have already given it to a friend who’s done the same thing as you. It was due to him messaging me on Wednesday morning to get in the online queue that meant I had the chance to buy.

Quick Look on eBay and I could have made an extra £90. Hopefully resell prices will die down soon for you

No drama at all. I would prefer to give something to a mate than make money as well.

Not sure I can justify resellers costs for both but happy with what i have.

I wondered why these had disappeared from the gshock site, totally gutted to have missed them, I never realised they were a limited edition either...had my eye on the blue one as a birthday watch. It's been a while since I have seen anything I really fancy.

There's loads on eBay and prices are dropping. Give it a few weeks and I recon they'll be £170 or so - not that much of a mark up.
